Sweetwater Music Hall

Today’s local music is by IrieFuse. This Marin County collective started under the name Counter Culture in 2011 and has become a regular feature at northern California universities, house parties and even weddings!

“You know, you can only paint a painting once. But a song, you can replay, re-envision, re-imagine virtually an infinite number of times,” says Matt Jaffe. And that’s one reason he wants to devote himself to music.

This Mill Valley singer-songwriter has opened for the legendary Mavis Staples and will do the same March 7th for Megan Slankard. One thing he couldn’t do, if he wasn’t on stage, is legally attend many of his own shows; Matt Jaffe is only 19.
